Zach LaVine had a 36-point outburst Saturday night but it wasn't enough to stave off a spirited Brooklyn Nets squad who won over the Chicago Bulls, 117-111, despite missing the services of Kyrie Irving and Caris LeVert.

After the game, LaVine sounded off on what went wrong for Chicago, per K.C. Johnson of NBCS Chicago.

“We get stagnant a lot out there. We’ll run one action and then everybody is staring at the person with the ball. We gotta get more fluid. I don’t feel a lot of people are in rhythm. When that happens, obviously everybody starts trying to do it themselves.”

“Sometimes you get the ball and it feels like there are 12 eyes staring at me. I’m not scared to take any shot. I’ve not scared to miss a shot. I’ve taken all these shots before. If I’m the person to blame, I can take it. I’m in the gym working on my craft each night.”

As a team, the Bulls finished with a paltry total of 15 assists compared to the Nets' 30 dimes. Chicago's lack of experience was evident against a Brooklyn team that had already gone to the playoffs by way of a team-oriented style of play.

As a silver lining, the Bulls could take this a first-hand lesson on the importance of both ball and player movement. They have the talent, no doubt. However, plenty of young teams, who were just as talented, from the past have already failed to live up to their potential, no thanks to timidity and lack of discipline.
